With Alex's warning, Aileen naturally nods like a good girl. After all, this matter is really no small matter.
So of course she has to deal with it calmly.
"How do you want me to help you?" Aileen also feels confused now.
Alex says, "But tell me first, how did you get involved with Richard?"
"He wooed me!" Aileen says. She can lie about other things, but she will never lie about this matter.
"When did this happen?" Alex doesn’t want to bother about her personal life at all, but now this matter
involves Miya, so he must break his habit and ask.
Aileen gives a muffled voice, and then says, "Just these two days." What she is telling is a fact, but she
doesn’t know why she feels a guilty conscience.
"Get engaged in two days after wooing you?" Alex asks incredulously.
"Actually, I don't know how... I can’t explain to you with just a few words." Aileen also feels that she
can’t explain everything clearly.
A thought comes into Alex's mind, that is, Richard either has a crush on Aileen for a long time, or he
has planned this for a long time.
Anyway he thinks about it, only these two possibilities remain.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, you'd better keep distance from him." Alex says with a darkened face.
If this was him telling her in the past, Aileen would definitely not take his words to heart. but now...
"Alex, I also want to ask you for a favor." Aileen finally utters these words after some careful
consideration.
"What is it?" Alex is obviously impatient.
Aileen really knows her brother too well, "Can we..."
"Don’t tell me you don't want to be engaged anymore, do you?" Alex sees what she is thinking at a
glance. She doesn’t look like she wanted to be engaged now, it rather looks like she wants to escape
the marriage.
After Aileen hears what Alex said, her eyes are about to shine, and she grabs his hand excitedly, "Alex,
you will help me, right?"
"If you want to escape from the wedding, don't even think about it!" Alex looks at her fiercely, "I need
you to get close to Richard and Augus."
After all, if he approaches them with all too obvious, it will not be conducive to his own business. It will
be unconscious if Aileen does something by their side.
Aileen suddenly feels wronged. How can she have such an unreliable brother? But she knows he is
only behaving like that all because of his wife.
He clearly cares more about his wife than his own sister!
"I..." Aileen wants to say something, but is interrupted by Alex.
"The bigger picture is more important here."
These words simply make Aileen speechless.
"You go and try to get close to them and see what conspiracy they have planned." After Alex tells her
what to do, he turns and walks to the other side.
Aileen feels really helpless. She doesn’t feel like this is her engagement. It is clear that she is playing
the spy, how can she be happy. What happened that she suddenly got herself into this mess? And
Richard keeps her on the side from beginning to end, as if she is just a decoration.
Grace enters the arena holding Augus' arm. She doesn’t even bother to come to such an occasion, but
she overheard Augus mention that Alex will also be there, so she just wants to take a look, but she
doesn’t expect to see the person she dreams of. . Last time they met she hurriedly said goodbye.
Although he hurt her very much, she still cares about him.
Aileen sees Augus and Grace, so he immediately walks up to them, staring fiercely at Grace who is
dressed in a black short dress. This little fairy is really good at seducing men.
"Dad!" Although Aileen is filled with anger, she still swallows it all up and says this. At the same time,
there are a lot of complaints in her words, "Dad, shouldn't you be taking Mom to attend this kind of
occasion? What's the matter with you to take a woman who is so much younger than you?"
Aileen knows that she will offend Augus by saying this, but she doesn’t care that much anymore. Now
she is simply angry and she wants to get justice for her mother.
Why does this woman who appeared suddenly in her life trying to win over her mother's position?
Grace now also feels the hostility in Aileen's eyes, but she is disdainful of it, she has long been used to
it. She just wants to find Alex in the vast crowd, and that's it, otherwise she wouldn’t have come to
attend this engagement party.
"How dare you talk to Gracie like this?" Augus tries his best to protect Grace who is standing by his
side, his hand placed on her shoulder.
Aileen really cannot take it anymore, how can her father be so lustful? So she says sarcastically, "What
are you doing, robbing a cradle. And god, you are calling her Gracie?"
"We are not done picking our bones yet, this time the engagement is the matter." Augus is a little
frustrated when he hears this.
But Aileen rolls her eyes at him, she doesn’t want to pay attention to him, but thinks of what Alex said
to her just now, and finally relents.
Augus says to Grace softly, "Gracie, you can go around and check out the place, and I will be right with
you. I have something to tell my daughter now."
Grace nods. She is anxious to leave this man's side immediately. She has to act every day. In fact, she
is very tired. When can she finally get rid of this kind of life?
"What? Why did you distract Grace? What do you want to tell me?" Aileen's tone is very rude. When
she thinks of her tearful mother, she feels as if she is about to blow up.
"Do you see what attitude you have now? Is this your attitude when talking to your father?" Augus
cannot tolerate his daughter’s rebelliance.
"I don't have a father like you, you don't even care about my mother, what should I care about you?"
Aileen retorts.
Augus is so angry, his veins are about to pop, "Did you find a backup now, so you want to rebel?"
"So what do you want to do to me?" Aileen thinks in her heart, is it possible that he will beat herself to
death here?
Augus, who wants to be furious with her, seems to remember something suddenly, and then his tone
softens, "But today is the day for you to get engaged to Richard, so I am not gonna tell you more
nonsense."
He also smiles somewhat relievedly.
